A few months ago I set a goal to read the complete "Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis. I think I said in a post way back that I saw a preview for a remake of "The Lion, the witch and the wardbrobe" coming out this winter. I have a beautiful hardcover book that contains the entire series in the correct order. The book is heavy and about the size of an 8x10 photo. It is 524 pages. Well my goal was to finish it before I left for CA and last night I did it! This is a huge accomplishment since as the mother of 2 young kids I don't have a lot of time to read.
If you have never read the whole series I would highly recommend it. The whole thing was beautifully written and the symbolism was amazing. By far my favorite book was "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader". I cried during this one a lot. One night Darrick asked me if I was ok and I read him the passage and he was pretty touched too. It just paints so vividly what it is that Christ does for us when we give our lives to Him fully. I get emotional just thinking about it right now.
When the boys get older I plan on reading the series to them.

I really enjoyed reading the Narnia books, however, I didn't read them until I was a Freshman in college. My favorite, besides the Lion, the Witch... would have to be The Magician's Nephew.
Congratulations on finishing them before your trip! If you want to learn more about the Narnia tales and all the symbols, there is a book all about it on the big bookshelf in my room. Feel free to look through it when you are in California.
I have the whole series but have only read "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." I should read the rest...
That IS a huge accomplishment! You ROCK! ;o)
